PRESS RELEASE

FG ANNOUNCES CANCELLATION OF INDEPENDENCE PARADE

The Federal Government wishes to announce the cancellation of the Independence Anniversary parade, previously scheduled to mark the 65th Independence on Wednesday, 1st October.

The cancellation is in no way a diminishment of the significance of this milestone anniversary, and the government remains committed to celebrating Nigeria's 65th year of independence with dignity and enthusiasm.

Accordingly, all other programmes slated for the Independence Anniversary will remain in effect.

The Government deeply regrets any inconvenience caused by this cancellation.

The Federal Government appreciates the understanding, support and cooperation of all Nigerians, members of the diplomatic community, and invited guests, and urges Nigerians to support the reforms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR in making Nigeria a greater nation.

These days, it feels deeply depressing to be a Nigerian.
A country once flowing with milk and honey has become a subject of ridicule among the community of nations.
It's just sad — truly sad.

There is no much to be happy about Nigeria at 65 years. I remember when Nigeria was 25, lots of hopes and aspirations but it seems things are even getting worse as the decade goes by.

It's been 40 years ago and Nigerian ls are still as poor as ever.

He who fails to plan, plans to fail and failure is all we have been seeing....

They only plan their way to be selected by eye neck but have on plans for the Administrative strategies and known how thus they continue to do trial and error ...

With how porous corruption has eaten the country deep, they hide under the shadow of it to speak whatever they like after all, the Judiciary is in their pocket ...

To me, Nigeria was enjoyed by my Father's generation where once you are in your NYSC year, companies are already sending you job interviews, is now up to you o chose wisely....

Although there where remarkable slow decline but 2015 was the year of the amalgamation of Northern and Southern Hunger, blown up insecurity , food inflation etc in Nigeria....

Then , 2023 was the year Nigeria had their final independence from anything progressive and transparent.....

There was a country.....
